This document presents an overview of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) by Thakkar Jayshiv M. It discusses problems with current transportation systems like traffic congestion and accidents. ITS uses technologies like GPS, electronic toll collection, and vehicle sensors to provide real-time traffic information and improve safety. The presentation covers various ITS applications, benefits like reduced congestion and costs, and challenges including high equipment costs. It concludes that implementing ITS can help solve India's growing transportation problems.

3. Introduction
 Intelligent Transportation System are advanced
applications aim to provide innovative services related to
different modes of transport and traffic management.
 ITS enables various users to be better informed make safer ,
and smarter use of transport networks.
 ITS system in which information and communication
technologies are applied in the field of road transport,
including infrastructure, vehicles and users , and in traffic
management and mobility management.

4. What does ITS offer
Allows improved use of existing infrastructure by:
 Providing a better understanding of the transport network
-Live traffic and travel information-quick response
 Providing new methods to manage the network
-improved traffic signals and vehicle priority
 Providing new services to the public
-travel information to make journeys easier and more
pleasant

5. Problems in Transportation
 TRAFFIC CONGESTION
 FUEL CONSUMPTION
 ROAD ACCIDENTS

6. Necessity of ITS
India is going through a period of drastic change in the transportation are due
to:
 Rapidly growing economy.
 Insufficient and inadequate public transportation system.
 Rising vehicle ownership levels.
 Traffic congestion, insufficient road development growing number of
vehicles.
 Low speed, increased accident rates, increased fuel consumption and
increased pollution.
 Impossible to build enough new roads or to meet the demand.

8. Background Situation and
Significance of promoting ITS
 To solve social problems caused by roads
 To activate the economy
 To reach an advanced information and telecommunication society
 To coordinate different transport modes
 To reduce driver’s run

10. Application of ITS
 Electronic toll collection(ETC)
 Emergency vehicle notification system
 Cordon zones with congestion system
 Global positioning system(GPS)
 Advanced traveler information system(ATIS)
 In vehicle transit information system
 Automatic passenger counter

11. Electronic Toll Collection
 Non-stop toll facilities and segregated traffic management.
 Today, most all toll roads are equipped with an electronic
toll collection system ,like E-ZPass that detects and
processes tolls electronically.
 E-ZPass uses a vehicle mounted transponder that is
activated by an antenna on a toll lane. Your account
information is stored in the transponder. The antenna
identifies your transponder and reads your account
information. The amount of toll is deducted and passage
through the toll lane.

13. Emergency vehicle notification
system
 The in-vehicle eCall is an emergency call generated either
manually by the vehicle occupants or automatically via
activation of in-vehicle sensors after an accident.
 When activated, the in-vehicle eCall device will establish an
emergency call carrying both voice and data directly to the
nearest emergency point.
 The voice call enables the vehicle occupant to communicate
with the trained eCall operator.

14. Cordon zones with congestion
pricing
 Cordon zones have been implemented in Singapore,
Stockholm, and London, where a congestion charge or fee
is collected from vehicles entering a congested city centre.
 This fee or toll is charged automatically using electronic toll
collection or automatic number plate recognition, since
stopping the users at conventional toll booths would cause
long queues, long delays, and even gridlock.
 The main objective of this charge is to reduce traffic
congestion within the cordon area.
14

15. Global Positioning System
 A system of satellites
computers, and receivers
in which traffic data is
incorporated in the map,
the driver can get the
fastest route, can know
the position of the signals
ahead, predict traffic jams,
etc.
 And it also give
information about the
accidents
15

16.  Automatic road enforcement
A traffic enforcement camera system,
consisting of a camera and a vehicle-
monitoring device, is used to detect and
identify vehicles disobeying a speed limit or
some other road legal requirement.
 Hot lanes:-
These are the roads where the speed limit
is more than 100 kms./hr. & goes in one
track. There are radiators on the sides of
the road where if the car goes out of
lane, it produces shocks & hence keeps
the car on the track.

17. Advanced Traveler Information
System
17

18. Automatic Passenger Counter
 The APC automatically records the number of passengers,
time and location of each stop as passengers get on and off
the bus
 The APC can collect data, with a reduction in time, cost and
effort by means of infrared beams at the doors or pressure
sensitive mats on the steps.
 With the information provided by the APCs, transit planners
can make changes to routes and schedules that better serve
the transportation needs of their community.

19. Automatic Road Enforcement
 A traffic enforcement camera system, consisting of a camera
and a vehicle monitoring device is used to detect and
identify vehicles disobeying a speed limit or some other
road legal requirement and automatically ticket offenders
based on the license plate number. Traffic tickets are sent
by mail.
 Speed cameras identify speed limit.
 Red light cameras detect vehicles that cross a stop line.
 Bus lane cameras identify vehicles travelling in lanes
reserved for buses.
19

20. Radar and acoustic sensors are also
used for detecting vehicles in the
roadway.
How it works:
 Transmits radar pulses
 A portion of the energy is
reflected or scattered from the
vehicle and roadway back toward
the sensor
This energy is received and
interpreted
Benefits
 Low power
 Most accurate technology
for detecting speed
 Traffic count accuracy
 Easy installation

23. ITS Technology
Proximity Sensor During travelling if some car is
about to collide sensor gives a
signal that a car is about to hit us
as a caution to correct it.

25. Advantages of ITS
 Improve safety
 Better traffic flow
 Lower travel cost
 Better environmental quality
 Increased customer satisfaction
 Greater user acceptance
 Better travel information
 Better planning information
 Decreasing of probability of congestion occurance

26. Disadvantages
 Difficult to use in mixed traffic
 Preliminary difficulties in understanding
 ITS equipments are costly
 The control system software could be hacked by hackers.

27. Conclusion
 The use of ITS in some developed countries like America,
Japan and England has give them high progress in the field
of transportation.
 The traffic congestions, rate of road accidents, wastage of
fuels will decreased to a large extend.
 This gives the people of the country a more economic mean
of transportation with advanced of transit
 Hence it can be implemented in our country and can prove
to be the solution of the traffic problems including traffic
congestion, air pollution and traffic accidents.
